When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .

Steven Pinker

A Bridge of Ideas

Despite their disparate fields, you've unknowingly drawn a profound parallel between Pinker's examination of how shared knowledge propagates and Chomsky's critique of how dominant narratives obscure truth. Both authors, through contrasting lenses of cognitive psychology and political critique, reveal the architecture of collective understanding and the forces that shape our perception of reality, suggesting that the 'knowing' you explored in 'When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...' is deeply intertwined with the 'profit over people' dynamic Chomsky dissects.
